Ferguson Bets It 'til He Gets It

Chris Ferguson's reputation as a tight player often works in his favor. He recently took down a 40,000-chip pot thanks to a combination of that reputation and a fortunate river card. Ferguson, sitting in the big blind, called a minimum-raise to 1,600 made by the small blind. The small blind check-called 2,000 on a flop of {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {7-Spades} and check-called another 5,000 when the turn fell {K-Spades}.

On the river {8-Diamonds}, the small blind checked a third time. Ferguson fired 12,000 chips into the pot, just less than half of his opponent's remaining stack. The small bind tanked for about a minute, then cringed and threw in a matching 12,000. Ferguson showed {A-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} for a rivered two pair, aces and eights.

The small blind looked briefly at the ceiling and heaved a deep sigh. "Good river," he said as he mucked his hand, suggesting he had been ahead until the last community card came out.

Ferguson doesn't have a monster stack, but that pot pushed him to about 80,000 in chips.
